I have never skied powmow or snowbasin - many say they are worth the drive.
If looking to booze and ski stay in park city.
If booze is a remotely important consideration, avoid Utah for the rest of your life.
Vail is a good choice. But Park City is NOT.I would consider Vail. It's one of the largest well known ski resorts in the US with lots of nice hotel and restaurant options within their village. Plus your within an hour of another 5 or 6 ski resorts if you want to try other places. I guess you could say the same with Park City as well so there is really no wrong choice between those two ski areas.

For people coming from Europe, the size of Park City is a joke! There’s really nothing special about PC, even though the village is nice.
Vail is a much more appropriate change for a European skier. The back bowls has to be seen to believe!
You completely missed the point. The “big” resort of US is peanut size compare to European resorts where the OP is coming from!If you add up all of Park City / Canyons, I have to imagine it's bigger than all of Vail / BSB.
But even if I'm wrong about that, I'm confident the statement that "the size of Park City is a joke" compared to Vail is incorrect. They're both huge.
